The 2012 election was one for the record books: the most expensive in history, massive amounts of outside spending, and donations coming in all sorts of forms, from the traditional check to text messages.

Total spending reached $6.2 billion, more than double what was reported in the 2000 election.

Out of that total, nearly one-third came from megadonors, the top 31,385 contributors who comprise one percent of the one percent, according to a recent analysis by the Sunlight Foundation.

The elite donors in Texas donated the third-most out of any state, behind California and New York, with a total of nearly $200 million from about 2,700 donors.

Members of the state’s congressional delegation who relied the most on donations from these deep-pocketed donors include Rep. Roger Williams and Sen. Ted Cruz. Nearly 40 percent of Williams’ campaign chest came from the one percent of the one percent, compared to 28 percent of Cruz’ donations.

And a pair of Texas cities, Houston and Dallas, made the top-10 national list for big-money donor locations, landing in the third and sixth slot respectively.
